CITY TRANSPORT IN NEW YORK

Like every big city, New York has its own traffic system. Traffic jams can be terrible, and it's usually the quickest way to go by subway. The New York, subway is easy to use and quite cheap. It goes to almost every comer of Manhattan. But be careful. It’s better not to go by subway late at night.

You see more, of course, if you go by bus. New York buses are also easy to use. The “Shoppers Shuttle” (Monday to Friday) and the “Cultural Loops” (Saturdays and Sundays) stop at some of the best-known stores and tourist places. You can get on and off as many times as you like in one day with only one ticket.

There are more than 30,000 taxis in New York. They are easy to see, because they are bright yellow and carry large TAXI signs. Taxis do not go outside the city but they will go to the airports. People give the taxi driver a “tip” of 15% extra.

If you really have to drive in New York, remember that nearly all the east-west streets and most of the north-south streets are one way only. This can be difficult for the visitor who does not know his way. Try to get a map that shows the direction of the traffic, and — good luck!

Mineral Park is town in the U. S. It is called a "ghost town" because no one there anymore. 
It was a very busy town with lots of people but no cars. People travelled by train and on horses. 
Lots of the people from Mineral Park, worked in the mines. After work they liked to spend theit free time in the saloons and restaurants. Evryone was happy and wealthy, but all the stopped. 
After 1887 Mineral Park started to change into a quit town. Many families moved to other towns and the shops closed down. Some people tried to stay but there was nothing for them to do. Bu 1912, the town was nearly empty. Today, there are only a few ruined buildings left. People still visit Mineral Park though to get an idea of what life was like in the past

Population aging
The first relates to demography. The generation of people born in the 60s, the last surge of postwar baby boomers approaching retirement age; the generation born in the 50s has largely eliminated from the labor process. In their stead come born in the 90s - namely, those years have to a minimum of birth. In other words, the proportion of pensioners in relation to the share of workers will grow rapidly in the coming years. This will inevitably lead - against the backdrop of stagnating domestic economy - to a reduction in pensions and an increase in the retirement age. The additional increase in the age of working citizens happens due to the active development of medicine. This factor is very strong in the West, would be far less significant in Russia. However, it will act on our country: the disease and the age limit will be far less than the limit disabled worker than before. In the labor market, this trend will be reflected in the form of a kind of "depreciation" of experience: young and active can become more valuable competitive advantage than the experience that, and so will have a majority of able-bodied citizens.

Старение населения
Первый из них касается демографии. Поколение людей, рождённых в 60-е, последний всплеск послевоенного беби-бума, приближается к пенсионному возрасту; поколение рождённых в 50-е уже в значительной степени устранилось из трудового процесса. На смену им приходят рождённые в 90-е – а именно на эти годы приходится минимум рождаемости. Иными словами, доля пенсионеров по отношению к доле работающих стремительно вырастет в ближайшие годы. Это неизбежно приведёт – на фоне стагнирующей отечественной экономики – к уменьшению пенсий и увеличению пенсионного возраста. Дополнительное увеличение возраста работающих граждан произойдёт за счёт активного развития медицины. Этот фактор, очень сильный на Западе, окажется куда менее значимым в России. Тем не менее, он подействует и на нашу страну: болезни и возрастные ограничения будут куда меньше ограничивать трудо работника, чем раньше. На рынке труда эта тенденция отразится в виде своеобразного «обесценивания» опыта: молодость и активность могут стать более ценным конкурентным преимуществом, чем опыт, которым и так будет обладать большинство трудо граждан.
